Amazing service from start to finish. We had great contact to arrange our journey with them. We came to a plan, for which literally everything was arranged. Pickup from the airport, diet wishes, taxi between lodges, safari's etc. Everything was well organised and didn't need to stress our during our trip. We stayed in Kanha Earth lodge and Pench Tree Lodge for couple of days each. They were both amazing places to stay, but the people from Kanha really deserve 5/5 stars.

We stayed at King's Lodge and Kanha Earths Lodge in March of 2024 for about a week. We had an incredible experience and hope to return. The properties are different, but both are well kept, beautiful and prioritize the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of their neighbouring communities. The food at both properties was wonderful and although my family and I ate the Indian food, some guests requested western food and the chefs went out of their way to accommodate them.
